So I forgot to change my calendar yesterday. I looked at it, thought to myself yeah, I gotta change that to November. Then promptly forgot about it.

This morning when I woke up, went into the livingroom and found that my calendar had been changed for me — but not forward to November, it was backward to September. The little hole in the ‘October’ sheet is clearly torn, like it was pulled down off the hook rather than lifted up off the hook.

Have a look at the picture below, this is what I found this morning.

In addition, although you can’t tell from the picture, the three swords had been disturbed. The dual sword-holder had been shifted outwards away from the wall, and the sword laying ontop of the bureau had been shifted inwards towards the wall.

Now, one thing, or another thing, alone, I could come up with an explanation. Although I have never seen the cats ontop of the bureau, it’s possible that one could have gotten up there, and if one was up there, it’s possible she could have bumped the sword towards the wall. I don’t think they could have pulled the stand away from the wall though. And I don’t believe that they could have pulled a page down off the calendar. Indeed, there are no claw marks on the bureau at all.

This is not the first time something strange has happened with that spot of the livingroom wall. The hook from which the calendar hangs, used to hold a rather large painting. One afternoon I was in the livingroom but looking the other way, talking on the phone, when I heard a thump, and turned around to find the painting missing. I later found it hidden behind a chair about 5 feet from the spot where it had been hanging.
